Hungarorign was always boring without rain,
Maclaren fast on hard tire, slow on medium.

Merc seems to have faked the performance with much less cooling yesterday just to get that pole, stat padding...
Hamilton 1-1.5s a lap faster than the two McLarens for several laps.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

yet the pole sitter is 40 seconds down come race end for no apparent reason

edit: and what is more confusing is him asking if they are adjusting engine from the pits, and they pretty much confirmed they do by saying they are managing temperatures

Yup, Lewis closed 13 seconds in on Norris that final stint.
They need to get over the inital phase of switching the tyre on. If they could do this, could've beaten macca today

The car seemed to be very much better when the fuel had burned down. It just got quicker over the course of the race. Only a handful of seconds behind Norris and 23s ahead of Piastri. I guess Piastri was carrying an issue because he was nowhere after the last tyre change.

He asks about the engine because the team give him engine settings during the race as they manage the PU etc. He won't know exactly what every setting does whilst he racing.

Great job by Lando again. Shame for Oscar as he simply disappeared after the 1st stop.

Sergio getting to 3rd shows the advantage that car still has.
Merc need to sort their tyre warm up issues, the McLarens dusted Lewis when they all switched to the hards
